Explanation
You should never block an intersection. It is illegal to park inside or just before one, as your vehicle could obstruct the view of other drivers and create a hazard. Do not enter an intersection if you cannot completely clear it before the traffic signal turns red. You may only enter an intersection if you are sure you can clear it quickly without blocking traffic.
